Cadence OTC is looking to launch a new medication soon, adding to the evolving landscape of reproductive health care in the Bay Area.
An East Bay company could soon join ranks with Perrigo's Opill as one of the first over-the-counter birth control pills for women.
This milestone — which came just a little more than a year after the Supreme Court overturned Dobbs v. Jackson, effectively ending abortion in 14 states to date — is just the beginning in what could become a highly populated market, and Cadence OTC is at the forefront. The Zena pill uses a high-tech label, much like a QR code, on its triangular-shaped packaging,to open a health survey that will help a woman determine potential health risks.
Ex-SF fire commish's alleged attacker pleads not guilty to all charges Garret Doty will stand trial on Sept. 8 The advances in this area come when women's reproductive health has been restricted in various ways in several states. Cost won't be as much of a concern for women in California who are covered by insurance starting Jan. 1, 2024. That's when the Contraceptive Equity Act, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last year, will go into effect, requiring insurance companies to cover birth control in the state.
